Case Study – Villa Preiswerk

  • Basel
  • At Missionsstrasse 42, light and movement converge around a grand neo-baroque staircase, the heart of the house. Built 1902 by Eduard Preiswerk-Bernoulli beside his construction business, the residence served both as a family home and a display of craftsmanship.
  • Beneath a vast skylight, the staircase channels daylight through every floor, uniting rooms in a single spatial rhythm.
  • In this interplay of light and structure, the house embodies harmony between architecture and daily life.
